***** FAVORITE RRL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS *****
Okay, I know you’re all on Instagram so don‘t even try to deny it. As a homage to SLCRich (and his infamous bathroom mirror) I thought it might be interesting to post some of my favorite RRL Instagram accounts.
FIRST, the most famous:
Mark Large, not posting as much RRL as he used to but still the “king”. A British house painter by trade, but also a dude living in vintage. The entire RRL community seems to bow down in awe when he hits our shores.Mark Large (@1lrg) • Instagram photos and videos

OilCongress, another well know RRL obsessed Brit. Appears to have recently had a baby and we all know what happens then.Oli Congress (@olicongress) • Instagram photos and videos

Julien Landa, Dutch painter, not nearly as active as he was a few years back. Must have finally reached the RRL saturation point. Is that even possible?landapaintings (@julienlanda) • Instagram photos and videos

BONUS:
Ludlow Blunt; This is the single greatest “guy stuff” Instagram account I have ever seen. Russell Manly (a transplanted Brit) is a barber with a shop right next door to RRL Williamsburg and is often the co-host of RRL Summer cocktail soirées. You probably have also seen him in “Denim Dudes” and is often featured in Clutch Magazine. The interior of his shop is all vintage barbershop (he also has a second shop in Japan). You’ll need to scroll through this account to find some of his RRL collection, but you’ll definitely discover some real gems. Like about 26 rows down is a picture of Dave Mitchell (former W’burg manager and RRL model) and Sunday (another former RRL W’burg associate who you may have also seen on the cover of Clutch Magazine). Abandoned mansions, burlesque and Art Deco, what’s not to like?Ludlow Blunt (@ludlowblunt) • Instagram photos and videos

Have I missed anyone? I would really like to see some of the RRL accounts other posters follow to add to my crew. Care to share?
I've been enjoying this denim shirt on the weekend, as a light layer during summer in San Francisco. In looking at the photo I see the officer chinos need to be shortened a bit.

As mentioned not slim quite baggy and a full fit, also mine were a touch too long so i got them altered. Love them with plain white t-shirt or white camp collar shirt some nike blazers and your ready to roll.
Take one size down from your true waist.Got it. Is the waist an inch or two bigger than tagged?
The dark blue one on the right is a fake one. I saw some on ebay a bit ago and have the same shirt in size small from the RL website.Looking for a little help on determining authenticity of an item. Some context. I bought one of these versions from a fellow forum member over a year ago. I loved it but it was size Small and I really needed a medium. A medium popped up on Grailed so I snatched it up. Once it arrived I noticed how different the two pieces were. The Grailed member claims the bought it from Ralph Lauren at Lennox Mall and swears by the authenticity but the wash of the fabric, the size of the lettering, and the stitching are all different. Is one of these legit and the other counterfeit? Did RRL make two versions of this jersey? Any one have the same one that could do a comparison for me? Thank you for your help.

My opinion, you’d be better off just rolling/cuffing them yourself

light wash looks authentic. Dark wash….suspect

It could be legit from a sample sale ... I have been to Ralph sample sales and seen samples that don't look like the final product (or that were never produced). We have all seen that with their online photos. It seems like an awful lot of work to make a fake of that particular shirt. Also, in my experience at the sample sales, all the RRL samples were mediums which was great for me and bummer for friend I went with who is a large. I would lean here toward this is a sample.Thank you both! That's what I suspected as well. Appreciate the confirmation. Seller is still fighting me on it so opened up a claim through Paypal and will let them help. Stay safe out there... plenty of really closely executed counterfeit items out there.
